Hi all,
First post here, looks like a great site (have been using briskoda for useful info on my other car, an octavia vrs, for ages). Have a fairly definite green light from SWMBO to get a second (fun) car and liking the idea of a Z4 coupé a lot (no interest in a roadster). Budget 10-12k (the closer to 10 the better), not particularly fussed whether SE or Sport (tbh not sure I've fully grasped the differences). Colour - most except silver. Black looks really good, saw a red one which to my surprise looked great. Manual, definitely. Like every other buyer, the lower the miles and younger the car, the happier I'll be. Hoping that a pretty tidy 60k max and 2007 car should be possible ... 2008 seems like a stretch (if Autotrader is to be believed).
I would rather like 17" wheels for ride quality but it sounds like most people have specced up bigger wheels from new - am I right in thinking that the Sport had 18s as standard anyway?
Optional extras - I'm fairly open-minded. I guess cruise control, auto wipers/lights, electric memory seats. Newish decent tyres would be a big plus.
If you're thinking of selling, let me know, otherwise very much up for any advice or suggestions - trying to arm myself with the knowledge to get a great car.
EDIT - I'm in Bath, happy to travel 100 miles or so, Scotland probably too far!
